RTX Corp

RTX Corp demonstrates a structured approach to aligning its policy advocacy with its climate strategy: its "direct policy and trade association activities are centrally controlled by the company's Corporate Government Relations organization," which "adheres to formal policies and procedures in their outreach to legislators and regulators" and "coordinates with affected Businesses and functional organizations" so that "the activities reflect the company's overall climate change strategy." This centralized Government Relations function serves as a formal body overseeing both direct lobbying and engagement through trade associations (with business units taking "a prominent role in the engagement activities" for some industry bodies such as ATAG). However, the company does not disclose any board-level or executive sign-off process, a recurring audit or third-party review of its climate lobbying, nor a public commitment to align its engagement "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," stating instead "No, and we do not plan to have one in the next two years." We found no evidence of a defined review cycle or clear criteria for assessing or exiting associations whose positions may conflict with its climate objectives.
